Desserts will be on sale by Salazon Chocolate Company and Mompops Organic Gourmet Popsicles. Beverage vendors will include Juice Fresh Juices, Booch Leggers kombucha, and Brewing Good Coffee, which raises funds for animal rescue and advocacy organizations through the sale of their ethically grown and sourced, roasted to order coffees.
